Anything, really, as long as it is bold, imaginative and original.

Send your image (max 630 x 440 pixels) to
arts.blog.photos@gmail.com. Add an explanatory sentence about what it is and where you found it; your full name; and a link to your website or blog if you have one.

James Dalrymple: Taken in Jaisalmer, the northwest fringe of India in the Thar Desert. I like the way the faded advertising for a washing-machine manufacturer is surrounded by what could be a whirlpool of scrap and rubbish

Llanor Alleyne: Olafur Eliasson has brought his urban nature installation expertise to New York's East River. The waterfall lies between Brooklyn's Piers 4 and 5. They were shot from the Brooklyn Promenade. Most of the images I've seen are of the falls from the river, but the scaffolding Eliasson used to create the installations is just as important as the water spouting from them

David Cooper Orton: The distinctive clock outside the entrance to the University Hospital Wales, Heath Park, Cardiff. Taken in mid-afternoon in February 2008 during a spell of paricularly clear weather, the Moon is visible above, its shape echoed by the reflections on the clock face and the curve of the clock housing

Tanya Robinson: My friend's balcony in Stockholm. I love the colour combination, and the cat's expression is just brilliant - not sure if he wants to jump off the balcony, or its just a cry for attention

Rob Pettit: I have collected over 5,000 mobile phones and made work from them in various mediums: several large floor sculptures, light pieces, sound, and drawings made up from over 40,000 tiny ink hand drawn cell phones ...

Mikey Georgeson: They say the British talk about the weather a lot. This Easter weekend really showed us why. My wife and children take on the form of a public sculpture full of utopian optimism, on Worthing beach

Lisa Chu: This is an image of my self-portrait, I'm Not the Girl You Think I Am, which is currently being displayed at Green Park underground station, London, as part of Art Below's Art of March exhibition

Adrienne Cassidy: Polaroid of a £2.50 rabbit mask, taken with my dad's old camera. I love the slightly unreal feeling Polaroid adds to everything. There's something special about the fact that you can produce something magic without digital editing

Andreas Schmidt: Wide-angle photograph showing the spectacular panorama of the Las Vegas skyline between two levels of brightly lit concrete. Part of a current exhibition at the Goethe-Institut London, on show until March 30, 2008

Rosina Joyce: The beach at Essaouira, Morocco by night. During the day, the place was buzzing with lots of people enjoying the sun. On this particular night, a bit cooler than normal, all that occupied the floodlit beach were umbrellas. They reminded me of mushrooms

Lina Zigelyte: Puente de la Barqueta in Seville, Spain. I'm a huge fan of modern architecture, and thought this structure remarkably dynamic. I Especially love the contrast of the red poles against blue sky.

GwenJones: The Guardian guide to photography tells us to get out of the car - not to take photos through windows. But what if you're in Afghanistan? So many aid workers are killed or abducted here, it is not safe for internationals to wander the streets. Taken in October 2007, through the window of a 4x4.

Dan Harrod: Sin City. Taken in the West End of London earlier this year. I created the light trails in-camera by moving the tripod by hand as I took a long exposure, and then set the camera down at a pre-arranged point in order to capture the sign and street in sharp focus. More photos at Flickr.

Diana Leavengood: Sgt York was the most decorated American soldier of the first world war. He applied for and was denied conscientious objector status based on his Christian faith. If you have never seen the 1941 movie starring Gary Cooper, treat yourself.

Peter Garner: Laser extravaganza in an old bunker at Q-Base 2007 dance event, Airport Weeze, Germany. The organisers had lined the walls with lasers and bounced the beams off dozens of mirror balls. Come Dancing was never like this!

Mark Cavendish: While we were taking shots of the Singing Ringing Tree (part of the Panopticon project). I liked the irony: picture of a camera taking a picture of our cameras. The tree was silent throughout!

Simon Neale: A really hot summer day in Prague, 2006. The pair came around the corner just as I was mucking about with my camera. With their old-fashioned clothes it looks like the photo could have been taken any time in the last fifty years.

Marcia Adair: Notre Dame, through a trinket shop over the road. What the knight has to do with anything, I’m not entirely sure, but relevance never seems high on the priority list of souvenir stockists.

Nicolas Kendall: This was taken on a bit of wasteland at the back of Chinatown, Liverpool. A pool of water had gathered in the roof of a burnt-out car, and as the sun crept out it created numerous colours on the rusted roof. The reflection is of a disused Victorian water tower.

Jon Lester: It's great fun counting Antony Gormley’s life-sized bronze statues that have been placed on prominent buildings surrounding the Hayward Gallery in London. Without doubt one of the most interactive sculpture exhibitions I have seen.

Joe Williams: I took this photo in the slums of Trinidad, Cuba. While walking down a dirt path I came across about 20 kids. I gave one a marshmallow and the next thing I knew, I was surrounded by them all ... Except this child, who was just playing on his own and talking to a hidden person through the window.
